In this project, you will be asked to
conduct a pavement design sensitivity
analysis using a free on
–
line software package named PaveXpress.
You are required to watch the
online recorded
seminar and prepare a regular report
including, but not limited to, introduction, procedure, data analysis and discussion based on designing typical pavement structure (refer to the presented default values shown in the webinar) and observing the difference in layer thicknesses by varying the following pavement design parameters:
1-Traffic Growth Rate: 0, 1, 2, and 3%
2-Reliability Level: 95, 85, 50%
3-Design Period: 10, 20, and 30 years
4-AADT: 500, 1000, 5000
5-Resilient Modulus of Subgrade: 2000 psi, 5000 psi, 10000 psi
Here is the link for the PaveXpress webinar along with a PDF of the PowerPoint
(attached).
